I like the steampunk look of it. I'd bet we'll get at least one Wells reference, hopefully a Verne too. What a charming design! Well, kind of.
Is that the time machine the Professor invents, or one they eventually use that allows them to go back?
Judging from the design, it reminds me of Wells' Time Machine, which only went forward. Strengthens the idea of having some Wells references.

I read something about why he builds it, I'm sure, very briefly mentioned, but I can only remember that they end up going futher and further into the future, to try and find the technology to get back.
Funnily enough, something that's been bugging me as of late, is Cubert and Dwight. They were in the first movie, and in the second, but they never seem to get any older. As far as the movies made it, we've gone ten years into the future, so shouldn't both of them be nearing 17 now.
The one thing I always loved about the show was that it took into account the time periods, unlike the simpsons which is caught in one time period. Blah.

Perhaps they'll address this in the new episodes! I just love how Cubert and Dwight got conscripted in the first movie into the kamikaze Children's Brigade, presumed to be shot down by Nudar, and then somehow show up in the second and third movies. I still think that there's a good chance he builds it for Fry because Fry keeps being late for stuff given the name "The Late Philip J. Fry". Or maybe he just builds it because he's a scientist and it's what he does. And he was working on a time machine for years as revealed in A Clone of My Own. "Late" can also mean dead. And I have a feeling like it'll be one of those inventions that are fully built by the Professor but never mentioned. Like everything else he's ever done.

Time goes forward but it is like the Simpsons in the fact that nobody ever seems the age. For example, Amy is still an intern after 10 years, the Professor is still alive and I doubt someone would be sent to the Near Death Star if they still had ten years left, Dwight and Cubert are still kids, etc. Honestly if you had the characters age it would change the dynamic of the show somewhat over time.
